 Rating:  - if you take the GRE psychology test, you must buy this bookI bought this book in December 2007 in preparation for the April 2008 GRE Psychology test. I have been out of college for a few years and only took one psychology course (Intro to Psych) as an undergraduate. As someone coming back to psychology after an extended absence and after forgetting most of the material, I found this book indispensable. There are some errors and confusing sections, but there is nothing out there that matches this book in terms of the breadth of coverage and the clear, ...

Rating: - Must-read for anyone considering grad psychThis book was an excellent study guide for the November 2007 GRE psychology subject test. Like some reviewers pointed out, it didn't cover everything. That is to be expected on a comprehensive exam like this. To its enormous credit, this book does provide a wealth of information you need to know, for the Subject Test, and as someone preparing for a career in psychology. Although the book's coverage of most topics is extremely superficial, it succeeds in its purpose of providing a broad ... Read More Rating: - Very thorough, but use in conjunction with The Princeton ReviewThe Kaplan outshines the Princeton Review by far in terms of the depth of their explanations. I had never taken Personality, Physiology, Sensation/Perception, and only had limited knowledge of Cognitive Psych. The explanations were very clear and thorough in this book. There WERE errors (sham rage is listed in a box at the end of a section and incorrectly paired with an experiment, I believe, even though it was correctly explained earlier, as an example; also, on a sketch of the eye light was shown ...
